In the wake of Yahoo's new rule banning telework, a lot of people are talking about whether or not you really are more productive—or at least more creative—when you're surrounded by your coworkers and managers. Since it's often CEOs that make those decisions for everyone, we wondered: Have you ever met or spoken with your CEO? Have you held a conversation with them that wasn't a passing courtesy?

We're talking about conversations beyond a handshake at the end of a meeting or a company all-hands presentation where your CEO was in front of a crowd, of course. If you did meet with them or have a good chat, how did it go? Did they impart any wisdom to you, or ask you for your perspective on things? Did you feel like you benefitted from the experience, or do you think they were just making the rounds? Share your thoughts and experiences in the discussions below.
